The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What players say

Players revisit this early freeware indie title fondly, calling it a charming speed-focused platformer with chaotic gameplay. Many note its age but say it still holds up as a fun little time trial game, not to be compared to Celeste or Super Meat Boy.
